Arctic National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project user's guide Arctic National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project user's guide
Section 1002 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA, 1980) requires the Secretary of Interior to conduct a continuing study of fish, wildlife, and habitats on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). Included in this study is a determination of the extent, location, and carrying capacity of fish and wildlife habitats.

Vegetation and terrain mapping in Alaska using Landsat MSS and digital terrain data Vegetation and terrain mapping in Alaska using Landsat MSS and digital terrain data
During the past 5 years, the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center Field Office in Anchorage, Alaska has worked cooperatively with Federal and State resource management agencies to produce land-cover and terrain maps for 245 million acres of Alaska. The need for current land-cover information in Alaska comes principally from the mandates...

Recent developments in the U. S. Geological Survey's Landsat image mapping program Recent developments in the U. S. Geological Survey's Landsat image mapping program
At the 1984 ASPRS-ACSM Convention in Washington, D. C. a paper on 'The Emerging U. S. Geological Survey Image Mapping Program' was presented that discussed recent satellite image mapping advancements and published products. Since then Landsat image mapping has become an integral part of the National Mapping Program. The Survey currently produces about 20 Landsat multispectral scanner...

Applications of U.S. Geological Survey digital cartographic products, 1979-1983 Applications of U.S. Geological Survey digital cartographic products, 1979-1983
The U.S. Geological Survey prepares and distributes fundamental, multipurpose cartographic data to a wide range of users throughout the United States. Recognizing that traditional cartographic procedures will eventually be replaced by digital techniques, the USGS is now actively developing computer-based methods to produce digital cartographic products. The digital cartographic products...

Vector data structure conversion at the EROS Data Center Vector data structure conversion at the EROS Data Center
With the increasing prevalence of GIS systems and the processing of spatial data, conversion of data from one system to another has become a more serious problem. This report describes the approach taken to arrive at a solution at the EROS Data Center. The report consists of a main section and a number of appendices. The methodology is described in the main section, while the appendices...

Digital data base of lakes on the North Slope, Alaska Digital data base of lakes on the North Slope, Alaska
The National Mapping Division and Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey have produced a digital data base of approximately 23,330 lakes on the North Slope of Alaska. The inventoried region consists of the area north of the 69th parallel and is composed of sixteen 1° x 3° quadrangles. The data base includes (1) locations of lake centers in latitude and longitude, (2) a...
